Breeding Programme for the Hanoverian Horse Breeding Programme of the Hanoverian breed based on the Statutes of 29.01.2016 under consideration of the amendments required in connection with the EU Animal Breeding Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1012). Draft of 11 January 2018 Information concerning the Indigenous Stud Book .1 The Hanoverian Society keeps the stud book of origin for the Hanoverian breed in accordance with the provisions of EU law and German animal breeding law. The requirements under subsections 4 to 15 represent the fundamental principles for the breeding of Hanoverian horses and are binding for subsidiary stud books. Subsidiary stud books are to be informed about amendments in good time. .2 The name of the breed "Hanoverian" depicts the historical roots of the Society as well as its geographical origin. In 1735 King Georg II. founded the State Stud of Celle in the Kingdom of Hanover. Throughout the turbulent periods which followed in the history of this region surrounding Hanover, extending throughout Lower Saxony and other neighbouring federal states, many generations of "Hanoverian breeders“ have continued to breed “Hanoverian” horses. Modern mobility and the option of artificial insemination instead of natural fertilisation have eliminated the limitations of locality to which horse breeding used to be subjected. Whilst maintaining the geographical focus of its breeding in Lower Saxony, the Society is expanding its activity at national level to cover the whole of Germany, and at international level to cover countries where a sufficiently large breeding population is available and, furthermore, recognition of the Statutes as well as of the Breeding Programme means that breeding of the “Hanoverian” is guaranteed. .3 With regard to breeding the Hanoverian outside Europe it is possible that, on account of circumstances specific to the country in question, some exceptions may have to be made concerning conditions for registration. Decisions in this context are to be taken by the Committee and the Breeding Management with all members being informed as soon as possible about the decision. .4 The Breeding Programme is published on the Society's website. Amendments to the Breeding Programme are published in accordance with A.13 of the Statutes in the Society magazine “THE HANOVERIAN” as well as on the Society's website. Geographical Territory The geographical territory in which the breeding society implements the Breeding Programme, in addition to Germany, also includes: EU member states: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Croatia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Sweden, Spain, and the Czech Republic Signatory states: Switzerland, Norway Non-EU countries: Russia, Canada, South Africa, Ukraine Scale of the Breeding Population The scale of the population amounts to (valid 01.01.2018): Mares: 14,907 Stallions: 356 Breeding Aim The Society’s breeding programme encompasses all measures which are suitable to achieve breeding progress with regard to the breeding aim aspired to. This particularly includes the breeding method as well as assessment of the exterior qualities, performance test, breeding evaluation and the selection criteria based on these areas. In the estimation of the breeding value; it is possible to consider results of other breeding societies and organisations in addition to the results of the Hanoverian population. 4.1 The Hanoverian is to be bred as a horse which is particularly suitable for riding. The aim is to produce horses which, on account of their inner qualities, ridability, external appearance, sequence of movement, natural jumping ability and health, are suitable as performance as well as leisure horses. 4.2 On this basis it is aimed to breed horses with particular ability for the discipline either of dressage, jumping or eventing. 4.3 With the qualities mentioned in paragraph 1, it is also aimed to breed horses which are suitable for driving sport.

  • Evaluating and Comparing Descendants of Stallions from the Dark Ronald Line in Czech Warmblood Breeding According to Basic Body Measurements
    11 1RYHPEHU 2020, Brno, Czech Republic Evaluating and comparing descendants of stallions from the Dark Ronald line in Czech Warmblood breeding according to basic body measurements Zuzana Kubikova, Iva Jiskrova, Barbora Kubistova Department of Animal Breeding Mendel University in Brno Zemedelska 1, 613 00 Brno CZECH REPUBLIC [email protected] Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the Dark Ronald stallion line in the breeding of the Czech Warmblood. To evaluate the importance of the line, the offspring of stallions authorized to act as stud horses in the breeding of the Czech Warmblood were used. The values of the basic body measurements of their offspring (SHW, THW, ChC and CBC) were used to evaluate the quality of the stallions. A total of 6 breeding stallions were compared: two representatives of the Holsteiner horse (2765 CASSILIUS, 2666 PORTER), one Russian Holsteiner (2782 BALLAST), one Slovak Warmblood (794 CORSÁR), one Dutch Warmblood (2745 OSCAR) and one representative of the Zweibrücker breed (662 CARBIDO). The group for comparison consisted of 284 offspring of the Czech Warmblood breed from these sires. Evaluation by the GLM model detected statistically significant differences between the basic body measurements of the individual groups of offspring. The influence of the dams on the basic body measurements of offspring was taken into account by a graphical comparison of the massiveness and boniness indices. It was found that the stallion 2782 BALLAST significantly affects the massiveness of his offspring, but the dam has a greater influence on boniness than the sire. Furthermore, it was found that mares are statistically significantly more massive than stallions, but that they have a smaller cannon bone circumference.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • High Horses Horses, Class and Socio-Economic Change in South Africa1
    Chapter 7 ❈ High Horses Horses, Class and Socio-economic Change in South Africa1 ‘Things are in the Saddle and ride mankind.’ 2 n the first half of the twentieth century there was a seismic shift in the Irelationship between horses and humans in commercial South Africa as ‘horsepower’ stopped implying equine military-agricultural potential and came to mean 746 watts of power.3 By the 1940s the South African horse industry faced a crisis. There was an over-production of horses, exacerbated by restrictions imposed by the Second World War, which rendered export to international markets difficult.4 Farm mechanisation was proceeding apace and vehicle numbers were doubling every decade.5 As the previous chapter has shown, there were doomed attempts to slow the relentless mechanisation of state transport. As late as 1949 the Horse and Mule Breeders Association issued a desperate appeal to the minister of railways and transport to stall mechanisation and use animal transport wherever possible.6 Futile efforts were made to reorientate the industry towards slaughtering horses for ‘native consumption’ or sending chilled equine meat to Belgium.7 Remount Services had been transferred to the Department of Agriculture, a significant bureaucratic step reflecting the final acknowledgement of equine superfluity to the modern military. As the previous chapter discussed, the so-called ‘Cinderella of the livestock industry’ had to reinvent itself to survive.8 A new breed of horses thus entered the landscape of the platteland: the American Saddlebred.9 Unlike the horses that had preceded them, these creatures were show horses. The breed was noted for its showy action in all Riding High 07.indd 171 2010/05/31 12:04 PM Riding High paces, its swanlike neck with ‘aristocratic arch’ and its uplifted tail.
